Fiakerlied

The "Fiakerlied" (Fiaker Song) is an 1885 Wienerlied (Viennese song) with words and music by Gustav Pick.

The song was written to celebrate the centenary of the Viennese Fiaker, a horse-drawn carriage for hire.

It was performed on 24 May 1885 by Alexander Girardi at a charity festival at the Rotunde in the Prater, accompanied by Nathaniel Rothschild's band conducted by Wilhelm Rab.

The music was published in that year by August Cranz.

[1][2] It was Gustav Pick's most successful song, and has remained popular.
